• Do not reconstruct or change the settings of the protection devices. - If the pressure switch, thermal switch, or other protection device is shorted and operated forcibly, or parts other than those specified by Mitsubishi Electric are used, fire or explosion may result.
¡ PRECAUTIONS FOR DEVICES THAT USE R407C REFRIGERANT Caution Do not use the existing refrigerant piping. Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve. • The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refriger- • The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing ant cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
[1] Storage of Piping Material (1) Storage location Store the pipes to be used indoors. (Warehouse at site or owner’s warehouse) Storing them outdoors may cause dirt, waste, or water to infiltrate. (2) Pipe sealing before storage Both ends of the pipes should be sealed until immediately before brazing. Wrap elbows and T’s in plastic bags for storage.
[2] Piping Machining Use ester oil, ether oil or alkylbenzene (small amount) as the refrigerator oil to coat flares and flange connections. Use only the necessary minimum quantity of oil ! Reason: 1. The refrigerator oil used for the equipment is highly hygroscopic and may introduce water inside. Notes: •...
[3] Brazing No changes from the conventional method, but special care is required so that foreign matter (ie. oxide scale, water, dirt, etc.) does not enter the refrigerant circuit. Example : Inner state of brazed section When non-oxide brazing was not used When non-oxide brazing was used Items to be strictly observed : 1.
[4] Airtightness Test No changes from the conventional method. Note that a refrigerant leakage detector for R22 cannot detect R407C leakage. Halide torch R22 leakage detector Items to be strictly observed : 1. Pressurize the equipment with nitrogen up to the design pressure and then judge the equipment’s airtightness, taking temperature variations into account.
[6] Charging of Refrigerant R407C must be in a liquid state when charging, because it is a non-azeotropic refrigerant. For a cylinder with a syphon attached For a cylinder without a syphon attached Cylin- Cylin- Cylinder color identification R407C-Gray Charged with liquid refrigerant R410A-Pink Valve Valve...

§ REFRIGERANT AMOUNT ADJUSTMENT By clarifying the relationship between the refrigerant amount and operating characterstics, conduct service activities such as decision on the amount and adjustment of refrigerant on the market. [1] Operating Characteristics and Refrigerant Amount The followings are operating characteristics and refrigerant amount which draw special attention. During cooling operations, required refrigerant amount tends to increase (refrigerant in accumulator decreases) in proportion to increase in the number of operating indoor units.

Note: 1 If there are any units which are not operating, it will cause refrigerant to accumulate, so operate all the indoor units. Also, in order to prevent stable operation from being disrupted by the thermostat going OFF, set the trial operation mode.
¶ TROUBLESHOOTING [1] Principal Parts Pressure Sensor (1) Judging Failure 1) Check for failure by comparing the sensing pressure according to the high pressure/low pressure pressure sensor and the pressure gauge pressure. Turn on switches 1, 3, 5, 6 (High) and 2, 4, 5, 6 (Low) of the digital display select switch (SW1) as shown below, and the sensor pressure of the high pressure/low pressure sensors is displayed digitally by the light emitting diode LD1.

Solenoid Valve Variable Capacity Unit Valves (SV1, SV22, SV32, SV4, 21S4a, 21S4b, SV5b, SV6, SV7, SV8) Check if the control board’s output signals and the operation of the solenoid valves match. Setting the self-diagnosis switch (SW1) as shown in the figure below causes the ON signal of each relay to be output to the LED’s.
Page 130
6) SV6 When No. 2 compressor is operating and No. 2 compressor is stopped, the main SV6 will be set to ON, making it possible to confirm operation by monitoring the LED display and listening to the operating sound. Note that it may be set to OFF if the outlet temperature (TH11) exceeds 120°C .

2) SV2, 3 (Full-load / Un-load switching valve) PUHN-P-YMF-C only It starts in un-load in the initial start mode and during defrosting, and starts in full-load at all other times. It is possible to determine whether or not the compressors are switching from unload to full load by check the changes in amperage of the compressor at the moment of switching.

Intelligent Power Module (IPM) Measure resistances between each terminal of IPM with tester, and use the results for troubleshooting. Specified resistance value is dependent on tester type to be used for resistance measurement, because diode inside IPM has non-linearity, thus difference of impedance and voltage in tester being influential. As the internal impedance of resistance range of analog tester equals to the center value of meter indication, the affect of internal impedance can be minimized if the tester having close center value of resistance range.

8) Compressor Replacement Procedure When replacing a compressor, please proceed by the following procedure. • When replacing the No. 1 compressor (variable capacity compressor), begin the replacement work after judging whether the trouble is a compressor breakdown or an inverter breakdown. If only one of the compressors is defec- tive, run the unit for about 1 hour in the emergency operation mode, checking the following items and judging if the oil return circuit is defective or not before replacing the compressor.
Page 151
(13) Solder the discharge piping, suction piping, volume control valve piping (All but model PUHY-(P)400YMF-C) and process piping (All but model PUHY-(P)400YMF-C). (14) Attach the oil equalization pipe to both compressors. In the case of the PUHY-P-YMF-C, replace the dryer with a new one.
Page 152
Constant Capacity Unit Observe the following notes when changing the compressor (1) Make sure the main power supply is turned off. If the reason for the compressor replacement is faulty insulation resistance, if the insulation resistance (Mega- check) is 1 M or greater, it is possible that it has dropped due to the dormancy of the refrigerant to the compres- sor, so after turning on the power for 12 hours with a belt heater heating, turn off the power and check the insulation resistance again.

• PREPARATION, REPAIRS AND REFRIGERANT REFILLING WHEN REPAIRING LEAKS [1] Location of leaks: Extension piping or indoor units (when cooling) (Pump down operation) 1 Attach a pressure gage to the low-pressure servicing check joint (CJ2). 2 Stop all of the indoor units. When the compressor has stopped, shut off the liquid ball valve (BV2) for the outdoor unit.
[2] Location of leaks: Outdoor unit (Cooling mode) Test run all indoor units in cooling mode. 1. With SW3-1 on the MAIN board of the outdoor unit set to ON and SW3-2 OFF ON to test run all indoor units. 2.
[4] Location of leaks: Outdoor unit (when heating) Remove any refrigerant from the entire system (outdoor unit, extension piping and indoor units). Reclaim the refrigerant; do not discharge it into the air. Repair the leaks. After the leaks are repaired, replace the dryer with a new one and extract all of the air from the entire system to create a vacuum.
ª CHECK THE COMPOSITION OF THE REFRIGERANT Start Test run all indoor units. Are all units operating stably? (Note 1) Is the refrigerant composition of OC correct? (Note 2) Check TH2, TH9, LPS and the CS Finished checking the circuit block and correct any malfunc- composition.
Page 206
Note 1 Wait until the units stabilize as described in the refrigerant amount adjustment procedure in “Chapter 6 ”. Note 2 After the units are operating stably, check that the refrigerant composition of OC is within the following ranges, indicating that the composition check is finished. If the accumulator liquid level AL = 0 when cooling: OC = 0.20 ~ 0.26 If the accumulator liquid level AL = 1 when cooling:...
